OpenDJ is a flexible Directory Services solution that runs on multiple platforms, including Linux. In this tutorial, we will be installing OpenDJ on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to download OpenDJ. To do so, visit the OpenDJ website at http://opendj.forgerock.org/ and click on the "Download" button.
Select the appropriate package for your system, which in our case is Linux. Once done, the file will begin downloading.
Next, we will extract the OpenDJ archive. To do so, open the terminal on your Kali Linux system and navigate to the directory where the OpenDJ archive was downloaded.
cd Downloads
Once you are in the Downloads directory, use the tar command to extract the archive.
tar -xvf opendj-*.zip
After extracting the archive, we can now proceed to install OpenDJ. To do so, navigate to the extracted directory and run the setup command:
cd opendj
./setup
This will launch the OpenDJ installation wizard. Follow the wizard's instructions to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, we can start the OpenDJ server. To do so, navigate to the bin directory in the OpenDJ installation directory:
cd opendj/bin
And start the server using the following command:
./start-ds
After a few moments, OpenDJ should be up and running. You can verify this by accessing the OpenDJ administration console at http://localhost:8080/admin/.
That's it! You have now successfully installed OpenDJ on Kali Linux Latest. You can now start using OpenDJ for your directory services needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
